Welcome Moreland Hills 5th Graders!

This blog is dedicated to sharing our thoughts about the books we read and love. All of the fifth grade students and teachers will be able to see the content and information posted. Keep in mind that there are some ground rules that we all need to follow.

This website will be a lot of fun. This is a great way to communicate with each other at all times. We will share thoughts on books, recommendations, and show are strong thinking as readers.

We look forward to having an engaging and fun time!

Graveyard Book Review and Recommendation

The graveyard book WAS AWESOME!! I would totally read this book with a partner. The reason I would read this with a partner is because is because some of the events and language (British words) are hard to understand, so it helps to discuss it with someone else. This book was about a baby who is being hunted by a man named THE MAN JACK! The baby (Bod is his name) went into a graveyard and got adopted by GHOSTS and got the freedom of the graveyard.The freedom of the graveyard means you can get ghost POWERS! As Bod grows up in the graveyard the man jack FAILS to KILL him!
